Pea yield estimation?

[JDGreen]

6' free wheat... No wonder we see eye to eye I had some last year that grew 5' and really they didn't yield much more than the ones that were 4'. The odd place they would yield considerably more but overall not much. But they all fell over flat as a pancake. Real pita for harvest and seeding. Klauses look like a 60 to me. Meadows can have a lot of growth, which can be a strike against the variety in my opinion.. The pea crop is a dud in many areas but still very good in others. Am expecting good yields out of mine as well. Good luck freewheat hope you get them

Back in the late 90's I grew certified deltas and they ran over 80 hauled to plant. Never that kind of yield again.Stood tall and cut leaving lots of stubble versus neighbours who had Grandes that yielded 40 fell flat and then had to hire disc seeders to seed thru the mess. I do think peas are definitely a once every 4 year crop as yield Definately drops if closer

Nice crop - should be in that 60 bus range
That's what my peas look like in the strips missed by burn off . In a way I am glad my 100ft sprayer was set fri 1260 inch's for the first half off burn off
I am takeing a 40 plus bus loss but at least I have definite proof of loss
Peas here are either shit or like those on pictures

[furrowtickler]

We have one half section that I fuked up and put on less - warm chem so too speak - should be 40-50 bus

Furrow, have you made a claim against the offending product, if you have, how are you making out? Are they telling you it was the perfect storm or all the wrong stars lined up scenario. Are you allowed to talk about it so the rest of us dont make the same mistake. o

[hobbyfrmr]

Methinks furrow is a distributor of that stuff. He has to take ownership of his application rates and circumstances , which is admirable.

JD Green...Was on Hyway south of Swift today. Looks like some nasty hail damage. Were you south of the hail? Hope you missed it.

[JDGreen]

Storm was just north of me a few miles. Was awfully close further east. Escaped.. Lucky for now. Pounded out quite a long swath 3 miles wide apparently

[furrowtickler]

Nope hobby , I do not sell that chemistry - remember this is a pre burn issue
Farmaholic - we are not in a legal fight yet so ya I think i can say whatever I think and or know . But I do not want to give them any loopholes to wiggle out either .
We are finding out more and more all the time - there is a scientific paper being writen on what is happening to the soil in our case and 5 others . All with the same issue - with proof of loss .
One thing to do farmaholic is read the Australian Lable for the active ingredient in heat , which is Kixor . There are also two American labeles with Kixor in them that are eye openers as well.
My personal opinion is that there is a lot more going on in the soil that what we are being told - and evidence is clearly pointing in that direction
It will be at least a month yet before we get all our ducks in a row .

Furrow, the Aussie label suggests using a seeding implement that moves treated soil away from the seed row, especially for Lentils and Fabas. Is that what you are refering to?

[furrowtickler]

That's the key - why move the treated soil ?
It explains why - the same will be for any legume crop

Sorry guys, I still wanna post pics. They are on my daughters camera. She filed them on her mamas laptop, and now I am trying to find them. I will e-mail you when I find them Klause. lol

[mbdog]

Marrowfats....told to swath or reglone. Never swathed peas before unless combine was right on my ass. What to do?

[malleefarmer]

question klause are those peas immune from frost?
kind of a aissie question we get peas to almost similar growth/podding satge and get belted with 3 or 4 nights if -1 or -2 celcius and there stuffed but must come a time when there past frosting
ps I don't wish it on anyone -3.5c here this morning

[TOM4CWB]

MB dog,

Grew marrows for many years.

If dry weather then the peas will dry out without much bleach (hidden in swath more by plant material)... the darker the green... the higher the grade... and even colour is very desirable.

Reglone can work well... less risk from blowing while in swath... but bleach can be more problematic.

Have fun!
